The protagonist of ASTRAL CHAIN is one of two twin police officers working as a rookie member of the Neuron task force. The name of the protagonist is chosen by the player. The player can choose between a male and female appearance, with the option not chosen appearing as the younger twin and closest sqaudmate of the protagonist, Akira Howard.[1]

Astral Chain Protagonist Appearance 

The protagonist’s hairstyle, hair color, eye color, skin color and lip color are all able to be customized by the player at the beginning of the game. The male protagonist’s default appearance has messy medium-length black hair and dark, grey-brown eyes. He wears the standard uniform shared among other Neuron members, with a collared white shirt and black tie underneath a heavy blue jacket decorated with a flower symbol and two stripes on the left arm, as well as a white stripe along the tall collar. He is wearing police armor on his chest, back, knees and arms, with the front piece branded with “POLICE” in large red letters. A belt running along his waist has utility pouches on each side, as well as a holster for his X-Baton on the right hip and the word “POLICE” written across the back. He also has a walkie-talkie attached to the front-left of his jacket. He has a Legatus Unit and Cradle on his back, which is used to summon his Legion[2], and thick white protective gloves over his hands. He wears black pants with utility pouches strapped to each leg, and knee-high laced boots over the top.

The female protagonist’s default appearance has medium-length black hair in a bob, and dark, grey-brown eyes. Her outfit is identical to the male protagonist, except that she wears tight shorts, with a single utility pouch strapped to her left leg. She also wears shiny thigh-high socks underneath her boots.

On the 25th of November, 2058[3], 20 years prior to the game beginning, the protagonist and their twin Akira were born and shortly after orphaned during a disaster. They were taken in by Maximilian Howard, a police officer, and were recruited into the Neuron task force when they became adults.[4]

Personality Astral Chain Protagonist

The protagonist of ASTRAL CHAIN does not have any dialogue lines of their own in the main story, and was created to be a player projection. Director Takahisa Taura stated in an interview that “We wanted the player to feel like they are, or that they could become, the police officer.”[5], and as such, they don’t show many expressions or actions that could give them a predefined personality.[6]
